This provides many useful advantages to the user, such as data ownership, privacy, and increased agency over the rules you must follow and the client you use. This also means democratizing the service and helping protect it from <a href="/garden/enshittification/">Enshittification</a>. There&#39;s not many examples of fully decentralized networks today, but some common examples are RSS, cryptocurrency, torrenting, and other peer-to-peer software. Some energy grids are decentralized, relying on individuals generating their own power and sharing surplus with neighbors.</p><p>An important caveat to the use of the term decentralization is that federated networks are often (erroneously) considered decentralized. Federated networks are ones where users have to join or create an entity, which is usually non-trivial, and will then be subject to the rules and limitations of that entity, but can theoretically then communicate with users who are members of other entities. Common examples are email and the <a href="/garden/fediverse/">Fediverse</a>. The distinction is important because federations trend towards a handful of large entities, thus centralizing power still. This happens due to the difficulty in migrating between servers, creating a new server, and even just picking a specific server to join. There is work being done in creating a properly decentralized alternative to the fediverse called the <a href="/garden/fedi-v2/">Agentic Fediverse</a>.</p></div></div></main><!----><!--[--><!--]--></div></div></div><!--[--><!--]--></div></div><!----><!--[--><footer class="vp-doc" data-v-4f9a2448><div data-v-4f9a2448>CC 2024 <a class="h-card" rel="me" href="/about" data-v-4f9a2448><img src="/me.jpg" alt="" data-v-4f9a2448>The Paper Pilot</a>. <a rel="license" href="https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0/" data-v-4f9a2448>CC BY-NC-SA 4.0</a>.</div><div data-v-4f9a2448>Any and all opinions listed here are my own and not representative of my employers; future, past and present.</div><div data-v-4f9a2448><a href="https://resume.incremental.social/thepaperpilot/thepaperpilot" data-v-4f9a2448>Resume</a> (not actively seeking new opportunities).</div><div data-v-4f9a2448>Site built from <a href="https://code.incremental.social/thepaperpilot/pages/commit/50fc43997fde6ba5648dcf9bb2ad34df5e125be5" data-v-4f9a2448>this commit</a> on <time data-v-4f9a2448>Thursday, November 28, 2024 at 22:20:23</time>. <a href="https://www.thepaperpilot.org/licenses.txt" data-v-4f9a2448>Legal disclaimers</a>.</div></footer><!--]--></div></div>
